Until this afternoon i had no idea my g grandfather was discharged in the First World War due to being wounded. I have found the record on Ancestry which i have looked at, please can anyone else just take a quick look and see what they think his wounding was.....
his name was William Stephen Peart born in Gloucestershire 1884.
many thanks Rebecca.

As far as I can see it doesn't give details. Just says....no longer physically fit for further war service.

Which of the 5 pages are you looking at?

APOLOGIES - I can see it now and agree with the others.
